Introduction

1. Introduction The Institution Recycling Network 7 South State Street Concord, NH 03301 866-229-1962 www.ir-network.com John Gundling, CWM Specialist

2. The IRN… A membership recycling organization serving: • Hospitals • Colleges & Universities • Nursing Homes • Preparatory Schools • Other Institutions

3. The IRN… What We Do For Our Members: • 60+ Commodity Marketing Programs • Group Purchase Opportunities • Transportation and Hauling • Consolidated Reporting, Recordkeeping, and Accounting • Vendor Qualification • Information and Information-Sharing

4. OVERVIEW OF CONSTRUCTION WASTE MANAGEMENT • Recoverable materials • Material end markets • Costs of recycling versus disposal • Barriers and solutions • IRN services: Job Site Waste Manager and/or Hauling/Recycling

5. Asphalt Shingles Brick & Block Bathroom Fixtures Carpets Ceiling Tiles Concrete Clean Wood Commercial Roofing Doors Furniture & Mattresses Glass Metals Mixed Debris Office Fixtures Sheetrock Treated Wood Windows Wiring & Cable Recoverable Materials

6. Recycling Works…Again • Concrete & Masonry St. Paul’s School Before • Aggregate for Roads and Sidewalks St. Paul’s School After

7. And Again… • Clean Wood Boston College Before • Mulch & Boiler Fuel Boston College After

8. And Again… • Gypsum Wallboard Cambridge City Hall Annex Before • Gypsum Wallboard Cambridge City Hall Annex After

9. And Again… • Old Ceiling Tiles Dartmouth College Become New Ceiling Tiles • Old Window Glass Northeastern University Becomes New Window Glass or Aggregate for Paving

10. Material End Markets Well established markets for traditional materials Recyclable materials list will grow to over 25 by 2004 Increase in number of haulers willing to travel to distant markets Source separation is usually the least cost option versus commingled

11. Costs: Recycling vs. Disposal

12. Barriers and Solutions Recycling delays the job cycle Not because of labor. Workers train easily and learn quickly. • Waste Miser Training / Signage. Not because of service. Hauling recyclables is the same as hauling waste. • Define hauling protocols and contingencies early on.

13. Barriers and Solutions No room on site to recycle Not with the proper scheduling and containers. Recycling services can be coordinated with construction schedule, and properly sized containers can be matched to job segments • Evaluate space restrictions and job time lines, and match equipment and services.

14. Barriers and Solutions Contractors are reluctant to recycle: Too costly Not in most cases. For economic reasons many contractors already recycle job site materials. Contractors do not like to be “forced” to recycle, or to have recycling added on after bid award. • Establish a recycling policy upfront and involve the institution and contractors in the benefits.

15. Barriers and Solutions We have no RFP of contract language for C&D recycling RFP language is becoming widely available from multiple sources, including CMRA, IRN, and others • Obtain RFP language and make a standard part of institution construction or renovation contracts

16. Your providers should “partner” with you for the following services: • RFP and contract development • Pre-bid and pre-job planning, on-site coordination and troubleshooting, dedicated logistics • Job site training and signage • Complete accountability and reporting for all discarded materials

17. Ask Your Service Provider for similar standards of quality: Complete accountability • We track every pound of material managed through our services • We report on activity weekly or monthly • We audit each end site for permits and compliance • We don’t play pricing games

18. WASTE MANAGEMENT PLANNING NEW CONSTRUCTION • Evaluation • Goals (LEED, reuse, recycling targets, public relations) • Schedule • Building (construction, materials) • Site (location, size, operations/logistics constraints) • Construction with Fully Integrated Recycling • Site work (trees/brush, asphalt, etc.) • Foundation (ABC, steel, wood) • Exterior framing and sheathing (wood, metals, ABC) • Interior framing (wood, metal) • Utilities (metals from HVAC, wiring, plumbing) • Wallboard • Ceilings and flooring (suspended ceilings, metals) • Architectural elements, windows, trim, etc. (wood, metals) • Roofing (membrane, shingles, metal, slate • Contractor and subcontractor crews and equipment on site • Materials separated for recycling (some recycled as mixed debris) • Develop Draft Waste Management Plan – Construction • Materials (quantities, ease of separation, markets, value) • Markets (location, materials handled, environmental and regulatory audit, etc.) • Operations / Logistics (schedule, space constraints, site restrictions, matching containers to materials recycled, etc.) Training Communications Troubleshooting Containers In / Out Materials to Markets Materials to Markets • Develop Final Waste Management Plan – Construction • Document recovery of architectural salvage (types, quantities, markets) • Document recovery of high-value commodities (types, quantities, markets) • Document recovery of demolition materials (types, quantities, markets) • Calculate recycling rate • Complete documentation of demolition phase (e.g., for LEED certification) Tracking/ Recordkeeping Material Tracking Information

19. WASTE MANAGEMENT PLANNING DEMOLITION • Evaluation • Goals (LEED, reuse, recycling targets, public relations) • Schedule • Building (construction, age, value elements) • Site (location, size, operations/logistics constraints) • Harvest” High Value Furnishings and Architectural Salvage • Furnishings and Equipment (e.g., kitchens, cabinetry) • Architectural salvage (e.g., flooring, windows, doors, molding, hearths, stonework) Materials to Market Crew(s) on Site Containers In / Out Materials to Markets • Develop Draft Waste Management Plan – Demolition • Materials • Markets • Operations / Logistics Tracking / Recordkeeping • Harvest High Value Commodities • Windows (aluminum, steel frames) • Wiring • HVAC • Plumbing • Suspended ceilings Materials to Market Crew(s) on Site Containers In / Out Materials to Markets Tracking / Recordkeeping • Demolition with Commodity Recovery • Structural members (e.g., wood beams) • Asphalt, Brick, Concrete (ABC) • Roofing materials (slate, metal, shingles, membrane materials) • Metal (ferrous, nonferrous, or mixed) • Wood • Mixed waste Materials to Market Demo crew/equip’t on site Containers In / Out Materials to Markets • Develop Final Waste Management Plan – Demolition • Document recovery of architectural salvage (types, quantities, markets) • Document recovery of high-value commodities (types, quantities, markets) • Document recovery of demolition materials (types, quantities, markets) • Calculate recycling rate • Complete documentation of demolition phase (e.g., for LEED certification) Tracking / Recordkeeping Material Tracking Information

20. COMPREHENSIVE JOBSITE RECYCLING TRAINING • WASTE MISER TRAINING VIDEO • CONTAINER SIGNS • RECYCLING HANDOUTS • HARD HAT DECALS • TEE-SHIRTS

21. Hauling/Recycling ServicesStandards Of Quality Services • Standard roll-off containers, special covered and/or locking containers • Job-site and container signage • Dedicated logistics and hauling for the length of the job cycle • Single-source service for 20+ materials

22. Demolition Example: St. Paul’s School, Concord, NH Recycling Results • 1623 tons of materials reused,recycled • 94.5% recycling rate Cost Avoidance • 73% savings, recycling vs. disposal

23. Demolition Example: Harvard University, Recycling Results • 1623 tons of materials reused,recycled • 95.1% recycling rate Cost Avoidance • 37% savings, recycling vs. disposal
